Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating along collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If the two discs are made to rotate together along the same axis,what will be the rotational kinetic energy of the system?

  • A
    $\frac{I_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2}{2(I_1+I_2)^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{(I_1 \omega_1-I_2 \omega_2)^2}{2(I_1+I_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{(I_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2)^2}{2(I_1-I_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{(I_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2)^2}{2(I_1+I_2)}$

$A$ horizontal circular platform of radius $R = 0.5 \ m$ and mass $M = 0.45 \ kg$ is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns,each carrying a steel ball of mass $m = 0.05 \ kg$,are attached to the platform at a distance $r = 0.25 \ m$ from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform,the balls have a horizontal speed of $v = 9 \ m/s$ with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in $rad/s$ after the balls leave the platform is:
